The railroad building Of the year pro-
sents some interesting features. So far
s, 4G2 miles Of new track have been laid in
1857, a record never before surpassed ex-
cept in 1882. or this amount 49l miles have
been built in Dakota. 536 miles in Nebraska,
LISA miles in Kansas, 443 miles in the In
dian Territory and 6G5 miles in Texas, or a
total OF 1919 miles in a comparatively mar
row belt of country, extending from Da-
kota to Texas. In all the States and Ter
ritories west of the Mississippi 1864 miles
have been built, as against only 1,493 miles
i'm all the States east of the Mississippi.
1t is but natural that most OF the. new
building should be in the newer
sections Of the country. The older
States are already provided with railroad
facilities. They are inteysected by railway
lines in every direction. so that almos.
every county has one or more railroads
running through its borders. The new
building in these sections is limited to
short connecting links or branches for
feeders to main lines. In the new States
and Territories Of the West there are vast
regions which are without railway facili-
ties. Rival lines are anxious to gain the
first occupancy Of the field, 50 as to hold it
against the time when settlement and dc.
velopment will furnish profitable BUSH
ness. The one question is whether the
rivalry of competing lines in this respect
has not led to excessive building and tho
locking up of many millions Of dollars on
which there can be no adequate return OF
profit for years to come.-Caicago Journal
